Reaching $114 MRR in just two weeks

Yesterday I signed up two new customers for SEOCopy.ai and reached the significant milestone of $100 MRR.

I don’t know how to feel… making internet money feels strange, but amazing. I’m literally being paid to build/do what I love, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support given. A few weeks ago I’d never have dreamt that I’d reach this milestone so quickly, especially considering we’re still in beta and haven’t done any significant launches.

The biggest piece of advice that I’ve gained along the way is to make “internet friends”. Whether that be on IndieHackers, Twitter or Reddit, reaching out to people via DM and striking up a conversation and then supporting that person via positive engagement on their posts is huge, because that then usually gets reciprocated and all of a sudden you feel that you’re starting to build a decent support network.

Having that early support keeps you motived, and the likes/comments from your network helps propel your posts and give you more reach.

So my one piece of advice is to put yourself out there. DM people. Make connections. After a week or so of doing this, you’ll be happy that you invested the time.

Only 14 founder plans remaining, claim yours today: SEOCopy.ai/pricing

    Congrats Richie. Networking is the best way of getting more business, no doubt in it. Really nice service by the way. Targetting seo related groups in reddit & fb would definitely pay for you, no doubt on it.

    Congrats on the milestone, Richie. Making money on the internet is indeed the best feeling when it comes to monetizing what you love.

    Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to your next milestone. :)))

    Nice work, I liked the SEO scoring and suggestions of DropInBlog but didn't like much else about the offering so this looks great now I'm on Squarespace

      A bit late to the party! But I'm building something that competes directly. Have a search on Google for Quickblog @simonbarker

    Very Inspiring Richie ,
    Internet friends with mutual interest's are very crucial to the spark of daily "momentum" to achieve your goal .

    Sometimes, I think "internet friends" are the best kind of friends. Then I remember my internet friends are also developers, founders, and SaaS enthusiasts. Yeah. They are the best kind of people.

    Congratulations @richiemcilroy!! Internet money is definitely the most fun money.

  9. 1

    Very true. I spent so much time head down focused on building until my soft launch. Now it's all about dm'ing and connections.

  10. 1

    How do you Dm people and in what channel?

    1. 2

      On Twitter! :) just reach out via DM, praise their product/work, just general chit-chat. Relationship building.

  11. 1

    Awesome @richiemcilroy - 100p agree on making internet friends.

    Also kudos on your pricing structure on your landing page. I don't see enough "betas" and early launches structuring pricing like you. Ton of social pressure to buy now before the big release. I love it and clearly it's working!

    Cheers
